I’m feeling bummed out, so to cheer myself up I thought I’d list the costumes that I’ve made (or had made, I don’t do metalwork) that I stll have taking up space in my closets. As you can tell, I love swords.

Boer war officer  
Boer war officer w/kilt  
Old west Maverick-type suit  
Irish medievil  
Scottish medievil  
14th century European armour  
Samurai Armour  
Zatoichi  
Japanese peasant  
Roman Soldier  
Captain Kirk  
Darth Maul  
Jedi Knight  
MIB  
Mandrake the Magician  
Nosferatu  
Dr. Watson  
A damned good pirate  
Professor Fate

Costumes I no longer own, but were some of my favorites from past Halloweens:

Robocop  
Nazgul  
Roman centurion  
Borg  
Indiana Jones  
Baron Von Radium (my own creation, a steampunk villian)  
Batman

Costumes I am planning:

The Phantom  
Cosmonaut

Plus I have tons of mix & match stuff, tuxedos, victorean clothing, capes, walking sticks, goggles, rayguns and what-not. I love costumes. Always have. I was Popeye in kindergarten, I clearly remember!

I need to get out more.

Yeah, but then I’d have to get a digital camera and a computer, and then how would I afford the handmade armor from Japan? 🙂

You come to my house I’ve got tons of photos, I still use film!

But some photos can be found on Flickr searching by my user name, including **Gfactor’s** tarantula on my head!
